She just wants the copper bar

Of course she is the supervisor.

Thanks, I’m a plumber, a copper bar seemed appropriate.

Truth. Plumbers are scrappers' best friends.
wcollins260 OP t1_j9h4cto wrote
She tries to, I spend about 15 minutes yelling at her to stop before she settles down.
wcollins260 OP t1_j9h4nio wrote
That’s the boss lady.

Geez, your supervisor sure enjoys micromanaging you! Won't even let you work, without closely monitoring your progress!

How much does a bar of solid copper go for exactly?

wcollins260 OP t1_j9hdra7 wrote
That’s a pound, and it was like $30-$35.
I think you can also get a five pound bar, and different shapes.

Damn, I looked it up, only 4 bucks? I thought it was way more considering how much it gets stolen.

It’s around $30 for the brick/ingot. Old copper scraps for around $3.50 these days, at least around here.

She just sits there and doesn't walk all over the desk, sit on the paperwork? Good cat!

wcollins260 OP t1_j9hsvuj wrote
She walks all over the desk for about 10 minutes before settling into her chair lol.

Okay lol.
wcollins260 OP t1_j9htt5o wrote
Yup lol. Perfectly normal cat behavior.
No_Chapter_948 t1_j9hua3g wrote
I was wondering because all my cats have walked all over desk, sat on paperwork, and stand right in front of the computer monitor. Can't get things done. Lol.

thunderGunXprezz t1_j9i034g wrote
I have a buddy, who happens to be somewhat of a general contractor/handy man and really no slouch in plumbing skills absolutely hates handling copper. He says it makes him feel dirty and can smell it on his hands. Really gives him the heebie jeebies.
I'm totally gonna try to get him one of these.
wcollins260 OP t1_j9i0s8r wrote
It’s copper, not gold.

Electrician here. Copper is pretty heavy - for example 500 kcmil wire is 1.54lbs per foot. I can spend a Sunday cleaning up some scraps and make $1k in one trip to the yard.
wcollins260 OP t1_j9i10nn wrote
Yeah, old copper does get on your hands and smell a little. But it comes right off, unlike silicone, primer, and some other things.
thunderGunXprezz t1_j9i216b wrote
Ya I totally get that. I think its a somewhat common thing. Not necessarily something I'd call a phobia but some sort of condition. As I think about it more, ny son often complains about wanting to wash his hands after handling any sort of metal objects, like coins, nails, screws etc.

Meowcro management at its finest.
wcollins260 OP t1_j9i9rgc wrote
Yeah I guess I’m lucky that she eventually settles down and lays on the chair. But yeah, when I go into the office she comes in and does all of those things for a good 10-15 minutes. I’ve learned to just turn on the tv and screw around until she settles down before I start on the important stuff. It works out.
Fluffiest_Toe_Beans t1_j9ibxjb wrote
Yep, you're very lucky, lol! My cat isn't content to just sit here in my office, nope - when he gets bored, he hops up onto one of the desks or counters and starts chewing on my paperwork and file boxes! He once chewed the corner of a certified court document. Oops.

Boss? Is that you?
wcollins260 OP t1_j9ihqiq wrote
I’m an a certified paper weight like 2-3 days a week.
JJagaimo t1_j9im5jk wrote
Technically it doesn't get on your hands; the copper interacts with skin oils and breaks them down, which makes that "metallic" smell. That's why coins that smell "metallic" are actually just gross and covered in skin oils.

Why do you have 24k gold bar left so casually? Store in a vault!

It’s copper. Which I have as a paperweight because I’m a plumber.

I read your comment first as "STOP STOP STOP STOP, NO NO NO!!!" for 15 minutes, but in reality is probably some 15 minute long iteration of the following...
You hear noise
Look up, cat makes eye contact with paws and claws outstretched
"Don't you dare."
Cat puts paws back down, you look away
You look back up after 1 second
Cat paws out stretched, cat looks up, sees you and pauses
"I said, don't. you. dare."
Cat stares, challenging your power
Insert cat name "I said no!"
Cat puts paws down, you stare, cat stares

It's possible to develop an allergy to metals. I have a strong allergy to nickel to the point I get really painful oozing sores if I wear anything with nickel in it for a full day (like belt buckles or metal glasses frames).
I can handle change and metal items like knives to use them, but not prolonged exposure.

Ha, my cat insists on sitting on my chair when I work at home (which is always for the last 3 years). As a concession, she agrees that we share the chair and she sleeps behind my a.. back for all that time.
